Windshield Wipers

[pilotdane]

I just noticed that the windshield wiper on the Genesis cannot be flipped up when they are in the retracted/parked position. Is there a way to get them to park higher up on the windshield or to stop them mid cycle so I can flip them up when I'm expecting ice so they don't get frozen in place?

Right after you shut off your car, push the windshield wiper stalk up and hold. The wipers will sweep up and stay there.

I have another, related issue. On my 2012 Genesis, the windshield washer fluid sprays so low on the windshield that all my wipers do is sweep it down and away from the dirty windshield.

Has anyone tried to realign the sprayer nozzles themselves? Or is this not a DIY project?
